Exploitation delivery

There are two different mechanisms regarding how an exploit reaches the target. It can be delivered through the network internally or externally, which is classified as remote exploitation. Alternatively, it can be delivered locally through an inside job, which, in that case, would be a local exploit. Due to the ongoing push of digital transformation and mobility, it is near to impossible to imagine any enterprise without internet connectivity. Therefore, remote exploitation is the preferred delivery mechanism because it allows the threat actor to hide.
